Submission + - Nvidia announces the $3000 GTX Titan Z: 12GB of VRAM, 5760 CUDA Cores, 8 TeraFLO (gizmorati.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Nvidia have today announced their brand new GK110 graphics card the Titan Z.

The Titan Z has 12GB of VRAM, 5760 CUDA Cores, 8 TeraFLOPS of compute power and will cost $3000 That is three thousand dollars. Whilst it is safe to assume such a powerhouse at this price is not aimed at your normal gamer I am sure there are many with very deep pockets licking their lips at the prospect of buying a few of these for SLI.

I just had it here in US (N Cali valley), some friends grow it and seem to have great flavor and heat consistently. Then again everything grows here and does well. I guess i could ask for details on how they grow them... but then they may get the wrong idea that i actually want to grow and not just consume :)

It Was the Worst Industrial Disaster In US History, and We Learned Nothing 290

Posted by Soulskill from the par-for-the-course dept.
superboj writes "Forget Deepwater Horizon or Three Mile Island: The biggest industrial disaster in American history actually happened in 2008, when more than a billion gallons of coal sludge ran through the small town of Kingston, Tennessee. This story details how, five years later, nothing has been done to stop it happening again, thanks to energy industry lobbying, federal inaction, and secrecy imposed on Congress. 'It estimated that 140,000 pounds of arsenic had spilled into the Emory River, as well as huge quantities of mercury, aluminum and selenium. In fact, the single spill in Kingston released more chromium, lead, manganese, and nickel into the environment than the entire U.S. power industry spilled in 2007. ... Kingston, though, is by far the worst coal ash disaster that the industry has ever seen: 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash, containing at least 10 known toxins, were spilled. In fact, the event ... was even bigger than the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010, which spewed approximately 1 million cubic yards of oil into the Gulf of Mexico."

CIA Accused: Sen. Feinstein Sees Torture Probe Meddling 187

Posted by timothy from the taking-the-heat-off-that-other-agency dept.
A reader writes with this news from the Washington Post: "In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency's possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration. The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a long and biting speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution."
